THANKS! I am obsessed with that room. There is even a bar in one of those cabinets... got the martini glasses and the shaker in it. Waiting til I can fit clothes and enjoy a cocktail then I will never leave that room. I used to be a label whore. Collected a lot of goods over the years.

Hi Melissa: Are you taking gasX and/or an anti-spasmotic such as Bentyl? GasX helps and the Bentyl was prescribed for me along with Prevacid. If you dislike shakes how about trying to make your own with Greek Yogurt? A cup of it has over 20g Protein. Remember that your body cannot absorb more than 30g at a time so even if you took a 60g protein pill only half would get absorbed. I also been eating cottage cheese. I buy the whipped kind... tastes the best to me... don't like the chunkier ones. I am sick of everything (with regards to food) right now and I feel your pain. You are freshly post op and those spasms of pain in your belly get better. I only get them now when I either eat something I shouldn't i.e.. carbs or I am reaching fullness. I really do not feel hungry but I feel I should be eating... force of habit I guess.

Nothing wrong with a little negotiation! Afterall.... you are sacrificing your privacy/confidentiality. I would present it like "I would love to do this because it is for a good cause... I am honored to have been chosen and I do not want to make this about me But...... " Can't hurt. Maybe they can wave hospital stay. I am sure you will have to still pay surgeon and anesthesiologists.

I am working on a shortened version.

OMG... that is amazing and such great inspiration!!!! You look amazing.... CONGRATS! I am two weeks post op and praying to loose 50 before my bday in July!! Your success makes that goal seem very tangible! Hard to believe you have had such a radical transformation in such a short time. GoD love it! What are you doing besides running? Do you have any tips or anything to share? Would love to know. Again.... Great Job...Your determination definitely paid off> You look fantastic.

I tried to advance my diet too quickly b/c I was tolerating softs so well... I wasn't ready either. I am going to continue on a soft diet until I can't stand it anymore.

I have posted this suggestion in several threads. I cannot stress enough how AWESOME Organic Hemp Protein Hi-Fiber powder is. Everyone keeps suggesting drugs. This is all natural. One of THE best plant Proteins out there. Put it in your shakes. Three tablespoons is all you need. I put it in my first shake of the day. Been regular ever since and it is not painful cramping like what Milk of Mag or Mag Citrate, Dulcolax or any of those other drugs cause. I bought it at Wegmans Grocery store in health food section. Check out the website www.Nutiva.com Good luck.

the surgery itself is relatively a short procedure... about an hour. My surgeon does not insert foley. HOWEVER.... I required one after b/c a side effect of anesthesia is urinary retention. I had it and I knew I was retaining and I asked to be catheterized. They removed it the next day. I had urinary hesitancy for several days after but it finally resolved.... I hope.

I hope you feel better soon.

I have one but I don't know how to use it so when I get to the point where I can tolerate meat I will have to look up a tutorial on youtube on how to use it.

Your post sounds like I could have wrote it myself. I am SOOOOOO sick of covering up and dreading summer. I can't wait to get back in to my 'skinny' clothes. Where do you live? I am up in Buffalo, NY.

Thanks!!!!!! )

The video was so much better but I took some pics of my new dressing room.

Some ppl can and some can't so I made an album of pics in my 'gallery'. Album name is 'Dressing Room'.

I am going to make a photo album in my gallery. I will post one pic here and the rest will be in my gallery under an album called 'Dressing Room'. I would love feedback. I am so so proud and inspired. I have to get back in my 'skinny' clothes and this room is my inspiration!!!

I want everyone to see it too!!!! Says its too large. I am going to take pics and upload pics. Stay tuned.

My greatest incentive.... Getting into all my 'skinny' pre pregnancy clothes. I converted a small spare bedroom into a dressing room. I am obsessed with it.

I tried another way. Please let me know if it is viewable.

I tried uploading a video in a forum topic and no one can view it. Is posting a video on here an option? If so, how to do it? Thanks in advance.

How do you post a video on here?

Thanks girl for liking... apparently no one else likes my closet! BOO!

Please share recipes as you find them. I love discovering cleaner more veggified foods! I'm going to experiment with making some nut cheeses. Okay so I know two awesome health and wellness guru's personally in my city. One was a friend and I say WAY because I asked her to help me post op with how to eat and she was very against me having this surgery to the point she was insulting. I haven't spoke to her since BUT I still go to her website and there is soooooooooo much great information on there including recipes. I think she may have a hemp cheese sauce recipe b/c she is always talking about things she makes on FB with cheesy sauce out of hemp. Her website is TatianaAmico.com. Let me know what you thing. I also LOVE her 'my favorite things' tab. I want a food dehydrator to make kale chips, sweet potato chips, and dried fruit chews (later on of course too soon for that). There is another woman named Robbie Raugh (pronounced 'RAW') She is a fitness instructor and health guru. She is always on "Good Morning America" here in the a.m. (T.V show). She is in her 50s and you wouldn't believe this woman's body. Both of these women went to the same college of nutrition (I forget name...Its in California). I have learned a lot from the both of them. Definitely check them out.

really??? My NUT said if you are going to eat carbs of any sort to make sure you pair it with Protein...always. I am trying to steer clear of carbs as much as possible but it is Sunday and my mom made sauce so I am not going to confirm or deny taking a nibble.
